Kagome panicked. What did Sesshoumaru want from her? He took her arrow and broke it, just like that.

“You don't think you could kill a demon with this arrow, do you?” His voice sounded extremely threatening when he was standing right in front of her. Kagome's heart almost skipped.

"What ... what do you want?" She stuttered. Sesshoumaru smiled slightly and came closer to her. Then he grabbed her chin roughly. “You look really cute up close ... To eat.” Inuyasha regained his consciousness and slowly straightened up again. The first thing he saw was Kagome.

“Kago… me?” Then he saw Sesshoumaru. "SESSHOUMARU, LEAVE YOU ALONE!"

Kagome found her language again.

"WAH! Let go of me now!", She yelled and tried to rub Sesshoumaru one. Sesshoumaru immediately dodged this attempt and grabbed her wrists.

"Don't you dare raise your hand against me," he hissed menacingly. Inu Yasha appeared behind Sesshoumaru, but he was holding Tessaiga only weakly in his hand, Sesshoumaru had hit him with full force.Kagome took her luck into her own hands and tried to throw herself behind a bush, but she had made the calculation without sesshoumaru, who was holding her back on her wrist.
"Where are you going?" He said and then: "You're sensitive when it comes to this human girl, aren't you?" He spat contemptuously at Inuyasha. Then he grinned nastily. He would probably annoy his half-brother a little ... Sesshoumaru pulled Kagome to him and kissed her.

Inuyasha saw this and growled at the top of her throat.

“You monster!” Inuyasha attacked again. Kagome closed his eyes tightly. She didn't like that kiss at all. She desperately tried to push Sesshoumaru away from her, which turned out to be quite difficult.
Fortunately, he let go of her on his own.

"No Hanyou taste? Did your lover not dare to kiss you?", Sesshoumaru remarked with a slight grin. Inuyasha turned a little red in the face and braced himself with all his might against his half-brother, who could hardly be moved.His act of desperation brought very little, he just threw Sesshoumaru a little off track.

"You can do it, Inuyasha!" said Kagome encouraging him. She wasn't much of a kisser by now ... wait a minute, her first kiss was from THIS one?

Sesshoumaru did not put up with Inuyasha's weak attack, but hurled him again against a tree.

"Grr ... Such a weakling ..." he growled and returned his attention to Kagome. What if he took her? With that he could annoy his hated brother ... And the woman would certainly be a nice toy. He poured out a little powder to numb her. Then he could take her with him without having to listen to her cries of fear.

Kagome hadn't been prepared for it and inhaled the powder. The effect was immediately noticeable. Kagome gasped and struggled to collapse. She didn't want to ... What was Sesshoumaru up to? But in the end they need to be passed out, the last thing they saw was Inuyasha, who was lying unconscious on the tree.~ * ~

The next thing Kagome noticed was that she was no longer in the forest. Well, actually, the first thing she felt after waking up was a sharp pain in the head. Kagome had the feeling that she was about to die of the pain. She opened one eye, but then closed it again relatively quickly. The pain was really unbearable. Where was Kagome anyway? Slowly the memories of the time before everything went black came back. Kagome decided that Sesshoumaru could finish his life as soon as she could think clearly again. But thinking only gave her a bigger headache, so she groaned. So she put off her murder plans for later and stopped thinking. Kagome strained to see if anything moved, wherever she was.

Sesshoumaru ran through the corridors of the castle into which he had brought Kagome. He met many demons in his family, but did not really pay attention to who was crossing his path.The castle was the headquarters of his grandfather, Inu Yasha non Saiga, now Daiyoukai. Inu Yasha non Saiga had become Daiyoukai again when Inu Yasha non Taishou died. But soon Sesshoumaru would take on the role of head of the family. In less than a hundred years. Sesshoumaru's thoughts wandered to the human girl in his chambers. He'd put them there, not without locking the door. He had left the windows unlocked, not even the woman would be so stupid as to want to jump out of a tower window. He snorted disparagingly. He, Sesshoumaru, had put a stupid human woman in his bed, he could hardly believe it himself. Was she awake yet? But she had inhaled so much poison that this case was almost impossible. But she was a miko, he had felt that immediately. He had never tried the effects of his poison on a miko before. But his thoughts went on to his grandfather. That he always had to make a fuss when a person entered his castle.It was the same with Rin, who was walking around here somewhere in the castle. Maybe he should visit her soon? She probably already knew that he was in the castle. But he decided against it. He could do that later. Sesshoumaru thought about the miko again. She could see splinters of the Shikon non Tamas. Perhaps it was more useful than initially thought. At least he could tell his grandfather a reason why he had taken her. Inuyasha would be angry. Anger was an understatement. Sesshoumaru smiled wickedly and dangerously. He wouldn't let go of the miko that quickly. Because once he had made something his own, it stayed that way, even if he had to kill for it. Which didn't bother him in the least.

Kagome was still listening intently to see if anyone was coming. She hoped to get out of here as soon as possible, whatever the cost. A noise brought them out of their desolate escape plans. A little scared, she held her breath and weighed her chances.They were at zero. They still had a headache, it must have been a very sneaky poison. Slowly she opened her eyes. Where was she here? It didn't look like a dungeon here. The room she was in was very tastefully decorated. Well, actually it was pretty empty as far as Kagome could tell. What amazed Kagome most was that there were Western pieces of furniture here. Did demons already know the West in the Middle Ages? Looked like it. The room walls were filled with bookshelves, there were only four doors in the room. No, five, because one led outside, probably onto a balcony. On the expensive parquet there were expensive-looking carpets here and there, otherwise the room was rather traditionally designed. If you disregard the curtains that now covered the window wall. A low table with cushions stood in the middle of the room, while Kagome himself lay on a rather large futon. Otherwise the room was empty.But it didn't look empty at all, no, in Kagome's eyes it was just right. Where did the rest of the doors lead? One determined from the apartments. One for the bathroom. And the remaining two? Slowly the headache subsided and Kagome was just thinking about trying to escape when she heard a noise at one of the doors. Kagome stared at the door, startled. Hopefully it wasn't Sesshoumaru. Inwardly she scolded herself. Who else should come? Kagome swallowed. She watched anxiously as the door slowly opened. "Sesshoumaru?" Came a low voice from the door. No, it couldn't be Sesshoumaru, firstly his voice was not small and sounded like a toddler and secondly he would hardly call to himself. Kagome sat up with a jerk. A small person who looked very much like Inuyasha stood in the doorway and looked at Kagome with big eyes.
Has she hallucinations yet? Inuyasha wasn't that short and Kagome didn't think he would show up here anytime soon.Of course she hoped so, but really believe in it ... But little Inu Yasha was still standing in the doorway, even when Kagome narrowed his eyes and opened them again. Was that because of the poison? Or was Kagome just crazy?

"I-Inu ... Yasha?" Kagome asked incredulously.

"Uh ..." The little one looked scared and shook his head.

"I ... am not ... Inuyasha," he said then, folding his little ears. Kagome immediately thought he was incredibly cute.

"What's your name?" She asked kindly. “I'm Kagome.” The little one closed the door and padded over to Kagome.

"I'm Inu Taishou," he said, a little scared. "If Lord Sesshoumaru finds me here, I'll be dead ..." he mumbled. Not only did it sound frightened, it was too.

"How can he threaten such a small child?" Kagome muttered darkly. “He won't dare.” Kagome looked at Inu Taishou out of the corner of his eye. “Why is Sesshoumaru not allowed to find you?” Inu Taishou glanced furtively at the door."Because he doesn't want anyone to come into his rooms," he said, looking so cute from the laundry that Kagome forgot her worries for a short time. "He always gets so mad," said Inu Taishou. "Besides, I can feel him here in the castle." The word 'castle' brought Kagome back to her worries. She didn't know why herself.

"Castle? Where am I exactly here?" That was a good question ... Hadn't Inu Taishou just said she was in Sesshoumaru's room? No, she must have misheard. After all, a prisoner would hardly be in the chambers of his kidnapper ... Or Sesshoumaru wanted her ... No, he wouldn't, he couldn't! Although ... can ... Kagome swallowed. She wanted to remain innocent until her wedding and she would. Or at least she hoped. Inu Taishou didn't notice her despair but blinked. "Don't you know? Did the Lord kidnap Sesshoumaru here?"He looked very surprised. Kagome nodded. Inu Taishou stepped closer to her and said in a voice that was getting lower and lower:

"This is the family castle ... don't you know it ???"

"Hm ... I'm not here by choice," Kagome said before registering what the little one had said. "FAMILY CASTLE? There are STILL more ice-cold demons living here, the innocent girls just ..." Kagome was horrified. Then she slowly calmed down. "Doesn't matter. Tell me ... In which part of the castle am I here and is there an exit?", Kagome asked
